Privilege and complacency paralyze me with fear sometimes. But the less vulnerable we are because of privilege, the country we're born in, or the security we enjoy, the more vulnerable our souls are to apathy.

More quotes by Brandi Carlile
People that could yodel always fascinated me. People that could sing loud always fascinated me. So I started trying to mimic at a really young age: 6, 7 years old.
Brandi Carlile
Even before I had a daughter, I was passionate about global women's issues, but now that she's here, I'm even more inspired to leave a better world for Evangeline.

There's a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend - we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It's a little bit dangerous, because you'll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.
Brandi Carlile
I stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.
Brandi Carlile
There is a creator and a redeemer, and the purpose of it all is love.
Brandi Carlile
I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.
Brandi Carlile
But I'm warning you, we're growing up.
Brandi Carlile
I'm not so arrogant to consider mine the only legitimate art form. I can't in one breath make a fuss about someone compartmentalizing music into genre and then in the next accuse advertising and short film of not being art.
Brandi Carlile
Writing is sort of putting a puzzle together halfway. Then, performing it has always been the completion of it. Once that happens, I'm feeling verbally communal with other people. It's out there and I feel so much better about it.
Brandi Carlile
In life, I'm most inspired by entertaining people and driven by the desire to do it by such a powerful force that I think it influences everything I do.
Brandi Carlile
It's impossible to just come up with one thing that I could say to the world. That's why I've spent my life in the pursuit of the opportunity to sing to it. Summing it up goes against what fuels me.
Brandi Carlile
I didn't get bullied any more than anybody else. I think I got bullied more for being poor than being gay. But no more than any other kid. And I'm sure that I did my fair share of picking on other kids, too. We're all humans.
Brandi Carlile
The mole can't live in your dollhouse.
Brandi Carlile
But now, with the last two years of touring and being on the road, I've learned that a live show should never sound like a record a record should sound like a live show.
Brandi Carlile
I have vocal trouble from time to time associated with sleep or wine! Or from sleeping in a bunk the size of a coffin and breathing in bus air conditioning all day.
Brandi Carlile
I tend to support and get behind issues instead of candidates, because of the whole 'Super Bowl' generalization of our world - You're on this side, I'm on that side you're a Republican, I'm a Democrat you're country music, I'm rock music.
Brandi Carlile
My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.
Brandi Carlile
You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.
Brandi Carlile
You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye.
Brandi Carlile
Cousins are forever and forever are cousins they stand by your side for you no matter what.
